This snippet shows you how to use haproxy to redirect http traffic to https or
any other website.
This snippet was tested on haproxy 1.5.
Recently I removed all Google Ads from this site due to their invasive tracking, as well as Google Analytics. Please, if you found this content useful, consider a small donation using any of the options below:
I'm developing an open source monitoring app called Leaf Node Monitoring, for windows, linux & android. Go check it out!
Consider sponsoring me on Github. It means the world to me if you show your appreciation and you'll help pay the server costs.
You can also sponsor me by getting a Digital Ocean VPS. With this referral link you'll get $200 credit for 60 days. Spend $25 after your credit expires and I'll get $25!
To redirect traffic from a haproxy frontend, use the following config:
frontend example-frontend
bind 10.20.30.40:80
redirect location https://example.org:443
As you can see, the `redirect location` can be anything, for example, the ssl
version of the frontend or any other website.
